While you are stuck at home, I'm sure you would like to have something interesting to do. Bob Scates, NoVA Lotus' own movie critic, has found these motorsport-related videos:
1.) On Amazon Prime: A superb movie from 1971 about Jim Garner and his racing team, with a Lola T-70 MkIII in Daytona and Sebring (where they still did the running across the track Le Mans style start) and also a TS-5 Formula A car, with cameos by David Hobbs, Mario, Chris Amon, Jackie Ickyx etc - lots of great racing action with Ferrari 312, Ford GT40, Porsche 908. All kinds of car problems, and a big wreck at St Jovite. It is called "Racing Scene". Garner was like Paul Newman, he got into racing from being in a racing movie. There is also a superb documentary on Paul Newman racing.
2.) An epic racing doc , on Netflix, called "A Life of Speed- The Juan Manuel Fangio Story" super well done, even Sharon found it to be fascinating! Statistically he really was the greatest of all time, proving it with 5 world championships in 4 teams.
3.) Well done doc, features the Lotus team as well. Also, on Netflix check out "A Life of Speed" on Juan Manuel Fangio, five time F1 champ in the '50s, extremely well done, even my wife enjoyed it!

Another Bob Scates video pick:
Here is a fantastic documentary on the Williams F1 team in the 1981 season, when there was the silly 6 cm rule for ground clearance to combat ground effects and the cheating with hydraulics to get around it. Great period interviews and footage, shows the banned Lotus 88 twin chassis aftermath too. Just an in-depth and engrossing step back in time to an amazing era, very refreshing!
